Darren B Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) Thanks Keegan decided on a design for the ends of the trailer bed, also tried making a scale wood log ladder, not sure if just for the bed or for the side of the truck to.

Darren B Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 Thanks Austin and David for the comments... Small update, I found a new jewelry supply store and came across these little guys , gave me some ideas where to put them on the vehicle... and gonna add this to the underside of the hood, kinda like a medallion of some short with an Aztec figure head in it!

Darren B Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 (edited) Finally decided on a final layout for the bed of the trailer...............I could play around for months on this thing but have a contest coming up the first week of September and want this to be ready for that contest. Now just have to figure out what color to paint to stone work!!! Edited May 31, 2013 by Darren B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Do you just paint that foam? Is the finish smooth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren B Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 Do you just paint that foam? Is the finish smooth? Jim, this version of the foam is kinda rough, which works good for simulating a stone or concrete look but all i do is spray primer with a close to the actual color paint and then do a dry brush and wash to bring out the texture of the foam.

Darren B Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 just found what im gonna use for the bumpers, there on the thin side but like the hand on each side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy D Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Hi Darren, Lovin' this, as with all your builds !!!!! Those bumpers are just awesome. Where did you find those? Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxer Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 This a pretty amazing art object, but the ladder in the bed just seals it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren B Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 (edited) Hi Darren, Lovin' this, as with all your builds !!!!! Those bumpers are just awesome. Where did you find those? Randy Randy they are from a gamers store that i go to a lot to buy what they call bits, there parts left over from games like warhammer4000 and games like that i get them for like .5 cents a piece and try to fit them on models, the smaller one in this pic is how it came, and i cut it in half and added a longer piece in between to give it some length. This a pretty amazing art object, but the ladder in the bed just seals it! Thanks Mike. Edited June 1, 2013 by Darren B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren B Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 Making a straight axle for the trailer so it looks cleaner without a differential that would not be used, and came up with an idea for a differential cover for the truck itself, to try to keep the theme going underside as well.....

mnwildpunk Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Cool build and I think it would look totally cool if you decided to put colored acitate for the areas you cut out on the roof. I see yellow that way it would look like the sun coming up behind the building. Just an idea. This is so killer!

PappyD340 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Very Creative, this build is quite unique, very NICE!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren B Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Thanks guys for all the comments............. Found these pyramid shaped items that will fit just right on the tailgates on the truck and the bed where it bulges out a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren B Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 Rethinking the boombox on the front of trailer, will probably just use gamer pieces and forget the speaker box... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren B Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 got some more done tonight, finished the other door panel now doing some detail work around the faces on the right to copy on the left, recessed a gamer piece and added some jewerly pieces on the piece that goes on the front of the bed, making a frame/hitch for the bed, working on the hood ornament as well....
